It said: “Slow traffic on the M8 eastbound J5 to J3A due to a demonstration at Bathgate.

“Delays approx 15 mins.”

The protest comes as drop-in clinics are now available at the Bahgate facility, as in all vaccination centres, for people over the age of 12.

Police Scotland have been contacted for comment.
